PRESIDENT CLELELAND's message is an eX-
traordinary production, ahd has created a
sensation in Europe as well as America. He
plants his party squarely on the platform Of
''tariff for revenue only" and it is apparent
has never got beyond the alphabet Of the
tariff and the great economic questions allied
to it.
Men who bave studied the workings of the
tariff TO any extent know that not only the
men who are engaged IN manufacturing,
whether employer or emp!oye, are benefited
by good prices and protection against the
poorly-paid labor of Europe, but likewise the
farmer and truck gardener, the tradesman,
and all persons who have any dealings with
the men employed in any capacity about the
mills and factories. Does any one doubt,
for example, that manufacturing, alone, has
built up and sustains Wheeling, Bellaire,
Martins Ferry, Bridgeport, and 20 large
extent Barnesville? Does not the fact that
we have such towns for markets for the prod
ucts of Cur fields and gardens insure good
prices, and is not every person in Belmont
county directly or indirectly benefited by
that fact? Mr.. Cleveland's reasoning is
weak. He is the recognized leader of the
Democratic party, and must inevitably be its
candidate for President next year. On the
issue he has made he can not carry a single
northern state, and if he docs not lose North
Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, aud Ten
nessee, as well, he will be fortunate. 1t will
be observed he is opposed to disturbing the
internal revenue taxes, measure especially
demanded by the tobacco interests of Virginia
and North Carolina, and that he assailS all
persons friendly to the protection of home
manufactures as conspirators.
Republicans can afford to give the Presi-
dent vote of thanks for his frankness
The Times, the World, and the Herald, the
free trade papers of New York, and the or
gans of the great importing interests of that
city, approve the message in warm terms
The London Morning Post says of it: THE
message will produce profound sensation in
Europe as well as in America, and will
strengthen the free traders cause throughout
the world

The law authorizes Council to re-
solve that water-worksa are necessary, and
to provide for the election of three Trus-
tees Of WataI-works, whose duties and
powers are prescribed. Pending this
election information can be gathered as
TO the probable cost of such improve
ment, and the people will then be able
to act advisedly in the premises. The
building Of stand-pipe, excavation,
mains, and fre-plugs, can be approx
mated with reasonable accuracy. Driven
wells cost one dollar per foot. There
is nothing intricate about any of these
things, and their aggregate cost ought
te be arrived at with reasonble accuracy.
We are convinced this improvement
should be carried to a successful con-
clusion, provided it can be done with
out seriously burdening our people with
taxation. We need it to protect our
property from fre-to rid ourselves of
the discomfOrts and annoyances from
dust in the summer season-and it is
absolutely essential to the county build
ings. 1t will be a source of constant an
noyance and anxiety if the the water
closets in the splendid new court house
have to be supplied with water from a
huge basin under the roof, which must
be fed, in turn, from cisterns. The
long drouth of the past season must
satisfy all persons that such surface
supply could not always be depended
upon, and putting such large quanti-
ty of water on the top under the roof
of such a costly building should not be
tolerated.
St Clairsville has been grieyousiy
burdened with taxation in the past, but
just now the rate is lower than in any
other considerable town OF the county.
Such an improvement as is contempla-
ted will be of permanent value to all
the property Of the town, and II any
manufacturing is ever to be done
here Will provide facilities for that.
Furthermore, it is absolutely essential
that some protection against fire that
can be depended upon, shall be provi-
ded, or we must prepare to face insu-
rance rates that viii amount to rental
upon our property.
People should consider the matter in
good temper, and laying aside all mi
nor differences OF opinion, unite in the
common defense with unanimity and
enthusiasm.

THERE is this year disposition among
Republicans in some quarters to resent
the oficious boss;sm OF q little ring
around the state capitol, which for years
has thought it its especial preregatiTe
to parcel out all the places about the
capitol. That crowd has made itself
very offensive to all men who have had
opportunity to study its insolent and
selfish methods, and Republican mem
bers of the Legislature will do them
selves credit, and society and the party
a good service, if they will with the
least ceremony possible knock out the
entire gang of ofice-b7okers, high and
low, and make new deal throughout.

We are slightly acquainted. 1t was not true,

she is really three yeas his junior She is

In the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette Of
Saturday appeared letter from Athens, evil
IDENTIFY written by Gen Grosvenor, concerning
the conduct of the campaign of next wear.
in which are suggestions that deserve cansid>
crate attention.
The nominations of three years ago were
made with yell, and all men who were in
any measure disposed to doubt the wisdom of
making such nominations were summarily
disposed of with yell; and then the enthn-
sIasts undertook to carry their ticket through
by pounding drums and the blasts of trump>
cts. The campaign WAS personal one. In
stead OF selecting 6 man of well known abili
ty in the conduct of political campaigns for
chairman, an unknown iron monger of Pitts
burgh was chosen, for the express purpose Of
carrying on personal campaign. Under
such circumstances, defeat was inevetable:iD-
deed' 1t is great wonder the party did as
well as it did.
That Mir. Blaine and his partisays intend
to again push him to the front, if they can. is
very apparent; there fore Republicans who
care more for principle than for men-more
Ior success at the election thar the advance
ment OF individuals-should carefully and
pfayeriully consider the situation.
we Can conceive of no good reason any
one can offer why any voter who opposed
blalnes election three years ago should favor
IL next year, and wo can see many reasons
why such men will not; beside. the thousands
of floating voters in every state who, indffer>
ent to everything except to be on the winning
side, and captiyntcd by the flare of trumpets
and drums and the parades of that remarka-
bic campaign, went with what they we're
sure would be the winning side, but after
the torch>lights were extinguished, the ban
ners folded away, the bands lushed, and the
cold figures counted, fonnd they were beaten,

Comptroller Tr.nho1m.s Report.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5-The annual report
of the Comptroller of Currency Trenholm,
q pSrtial summary of which has been pub
lished, includes a summary of suggestions
received by the comptroller from all parts
OF the country respecting a new basis for
National bank circulation. Over forty
plans have been proposed, and these are re-
duced to five propositions:
First-To do away with the note issuing
function of the banks.
Second-To increase tho Inducements for
the banks to deposit United Statos bonds as
a basis Of Natioaal bank circulation
Third-To provide by a new issue of
bonds, for a continuance of the present., or
of sale modified system of National bank
circulation based on United States bonds.
Fourth-To substitute some other security
fer United States bonds deposited in the
treasury as a basis for National bank cir
culation.
Fifth-To allow the banks TO ISSUE c;rcu-
lation upon their general credit, without
requiring specific surety to be deposited
The comptroller, after an elaborate Discus
sion of the second, third and fif5h-fin ally
reaches this conclusion: .
ut would appear that no substitute Yet
proposed for the present cases of National
bank circulation is sufficiently free from OBJ
lection to be adopted The four per cens
bonds will not mature for twenty years, and
apart from othe, considerations, there Is
enough in this fact 70 Justify caution anI
delay in making any radical change in the
basis OF circulation. In that time, no doabt,
something dcceptable will be devised, but at
present all that Seens practicable is to mol
ify the existing law SO as to obTiats It's in
coaveniences and as q first step toward this
end it appears both safe and wise to reduce
the minimum amount of bonds to be kept
